Such a census was one of the first projects considered by President Roosevelt after the $4,000,000,000 work fund was granted by Congress. He put the plan in the hands of a eomfnittee composed of Secretaries Roper, an i Perkins and relief damin istrator Harry L. Hopkins. Prolonged study was made of the proposal. Another committee was :et up to work out questions that would be asked. It was contemplat ed that $16,000,000 would be spent in ringing the nation’s door bells to find out how many were out of work. Census experts said only a complete, house-to-house coverage of the coun try could give a true picture of the unemployed. It was decided that a sample cen sus should be taken to see whether the information gained would be worth the $16,000,000 it would cost. Three urban and three rural areas in Connecticut, Indiana, lowa, Tex es, Ohio and Alabama were selected in which to make the sample cen sus. The plan was discussed informally with President Roosevelt and put before the works allotment board. Seme officials believed the matter was settled. That was in June. The summer went by and the plan remained in pigeon-holes accumulat ing dust. It still is there, neither ap proved nor disapproved. Authorita tive officials said today it was for gotten and they believed nothin': further would be heard from it. Instead of the unemployment count, the census bureau is going ahead with arrangements for two other works projects. One of them, being -arried out in St. Louis for white-collar unemployed, calls for a tabulation of ages and other informa tion to be used by the social insur ance board. The other is a census of indus tries in Philadelphia, to take care ol unemployed there. Some of the information that would have been sought in the unemployment census will be supplied by the industries census. Rotary Club Holds Regular Meeting The regular Rotary luncheon meet ing was held Tuesday in the dining room at the First Methodist church. The president, Rev.

WISE Died in Reidsville Sunday Aft ernoon After a Very Brief Illness Funeral services for Mrs. Marshall Wise were conducted Tuesday morn ing, September 24th in Bethphage Lutheran church with Rev. H. P. Barringer in charge, assisted by Rev. J. J. Bickley and Rev. F. M. Speagle. Mrs. Wise died Sunday afternoon at Reidsville, N. C., after a very tries illness during which time she underwent an operation that proved unsuccessful. The news of her death came as a yeat shock to her family as well as to her hundreds of friends. She had joined her husband in Reidsville im mediately after the summer term of her school at Howard’s Creek. Her plans were to return home at the opening of the fall session to resume her work as teacher. She received her academical train ing at Appalachain Teachers College and Lenoir Rhyne College. For a number of years she has been a mem ber of the Howard’s Creek school faculty. She was Light Brigade Sup erintendent and teacher tof the Be ginners Class at Bethphage, also an active member of the Luther League, serving as president for several years. Mrs. Wise won the respect and love of all who knew here by Her kind ness, friendliness and cheerfulness. The large floral array and the over flowing congregation gave evidence cf the high esteem in which the community held her. Her service in the church, to which she was most. Icyal, will be sorely missed but a life such as hers leaves its richest legacy in the inspiration it gives to others to live better lives and render more faithful service. "Her body rests in the cemetery but her influesce con tinues to live with those she touched. Mrs. Berge Beam, Miss Feme Hoover and Mr. B. H. Roberts ren dered special music during the fu neral hour. The flower girls consisted of Lin coln county teacher and friends oi the deceased. Pallbearers were Hoke Heavner, Walter Huss, Clarence Huss, Henry Carpenter, Hal Scronce and Karl Helms. Those surviving are her devoted husband, her father and mother, Mr. end Mrs. Henry Heavner and the following brothel's and sisters: Mrs. A. N. Dellinger of Redisville; Wil fred, Webb, Loy, Elanche, Alda Sue end Ralph Heavner.

LINCOLNTON HIGHS WILL PLAY STRONG KANNAPOLIS TEAM Game Will Be Played Tomor row Afternoon on Kan napolis Field (By “Smack” Proctor) Defeated in their opener with Newton here last Friday, Block Smith takes his high eleven over to Runnapolis tomorrow afternoon to engage the “Little Wonders” in their first conference tilt of the year. The j Little Wonders are reputed to be seme weaker this year and the local boys have high hopes of grabbing a victory. The team came through the New ton affary without serious injury and will be at full strength for the Kan napolis team, coached by Johnny Dupree. Several new men came out for the team this week when school began and will likely see action m the next home battle. Lenoir Rhyne vs. A. S. T. C. Tomorrow night up at Hickory." Lenoir-Rhyne’s Bears meet Kid Brew ti’s Appalachain Mountaineers in the opening football game of the season fur both elevens. What makes this game more than interesting is the fact that three former Lincolnton high football stars will be right in that Bear lineup. Buck Mauney, an all-conference halfback last season, will be in the starting lineup at halfback. Buck was the biggest cog in the Bear of fense last season and Coach Pat Shores of the Bears predicts he will te better than ever this season. Be sides carrying the brunt of the Bear running attack, Buck also does some ot the passing. Cecil Sigmon, all south piedmont fullback in 1933, i 3 another local lad that will be in the starting lineup. Sigmon gets hi' chance at fullback due to a leg in jury to Bob Poovey, regular fullback the past two seasons. Daniel “Goat” Loekman, and as Coach Smith says, “the best tackle I ever coached,” will not likely be in the starting lineup but will see his share of action during the game. Lockman’s chances of a starring berth is made more difficult by the fact that four lettermen are cast in his tackle position. But, Goat is re sponsible for Sigmon being in the fullback post as he was the man who put Poovey on the self in last weeks scrimmage with a characteristic vic ious tackle of his. Ed Johnson Injured Ed Johnson, co-captain and star halfback, suffered a cracked rib in scrimmage yesterday afternoon and will not be in the Lincolnton lineup ',n the game at Kannapolis tomorrow afternoon. PERSHING SENDS YETS GREETINGS St. Louis, Sept. 25.—Gen. John J- Pershing, commander of the Amer ican expeditionary forces during the World war, messaged his inability to attend the 17th annual convention of the American Legion here today as he congratulated the veterans as the “bulwark of the nation.” ' “As the years go by, and they are passing with astonishing rapid ity, I feel an ever increasing affec tion for the men who fought the nation’s battles in the World war,” snid the telegram read to the con vention. •‘Our ranks are growing thinner but our hearts beat as strongly iu the cause of freedom as in those I vying days when facing the enemy on foreign soil. No general ever led such an army of soldiers. In valor and in the courageous fulfill ment of their obligations, the men of the American Expeditionary forces have left a heritage of which those who follow may ever be proud. The loyal men of that army are becoming more and more the bulwark of the nation. No body of citizens are truer to the prin ciples for which succeeding genera tions of Americans have fought.” . The war-time commander said ill health kept him from the conven tion. He addressed the convention froir. Pails. If the American people will attend to the things that need attention in this country they won’t have much time to give to reforming other countries.
